Ah? It just made me sleepy. Perhaps I'll drink it all day tomorrow
and see how things go.

I have kava. Its pretty good. It actually helps me focus
more but also makes me feel less thoughtful sometimes. I can't sleep
on kava at all. It keeps me awake.

Its a real drug.
Yeah, herbal, but what the heck, caffein is a drug.

Its a muscle relaxant that comes from the pacific islands.
Any psychatric effects are cascade effects.

Like......see I believe alot in emotional "body armour" and body
language and all that phsical stuff.
Richaen theory, Rolfing, chiropractic, etc.
So a muscle relaxent can help you get free of certain entities we may
have created ourselves.
Maybe it can.
Seems likely.

I have some too.
Save it for when I need it medicinally.

Until my meds get here, shortly, I'm still living on fish oil, gingko
biloba, gaba, 100 mg B complex...think thats it.....

First time I signed up for meds in maybe 12 years.
Need em. Need something.
I can not explain the severity of my response, anxiety, or manicity, or
hyper, or something.
Very bad.
The anti-amxiety should be here by Monday at the latest. 7 to ten days
the doc said.

Yeah. I'm freaken out.

Taking hot baths and eating. Holding on until the plls get here.

Its funny, really funny, but when you know help is coming you tend to
stand down from your efforts. Really.
Fascinating response.
I'm doing nothing but waiting for the meds.
I would have thought I would make a better showing towards the end.

Can't stand still long enough to post like I had been doing.

Kava should help you relax.

Evidently I didn't brew it right the first time. It made my throat
and mouth numb. Made me a bit fuzzy, too.
I wonder why I haven't heard of this earlier. Huh....

Report to us if it is any good when you found out how
to process it?

I got some extract today.
The root that I made tea out of seemed to be good for curbing the
appetite -
The oral numbing is a neat experience. Lets you know it's working, I
guess.
I think zyprexa fights it a bit -

The mouth/lip numbing is pretty cool. It's actually a pretty neat drug
to do once in a while. Not something I'd do too often. I would take an
antipsychotic with it to make sure you don't have any problems while
taking it. It could make some people have psychotic breaks, which
would be really bad. It's definitely not for people who are prone to
seizures.

Be careful with that stuff. Stuff like that, I think you should talk
to your doc about. If you're having a problem they can probably
prescribe something much better anyways.

It sucks, sorry, I just realize that while I'm on meds, most days I
even have to be careful with stuff like, am I drinking too much
coffee, will it make me wig out, or, can I have a second or third
beer?

It might make your meds not work well or something too.

I drank some strong Kava tea and added about 15 drops of the extract
to really see what's what.
Overall I think it would be best used for when you have a sore throat
or sore in the mouth. Other than that, I don't really see the
advantage of it. It has all the disadvantages that alcohol does
without the buzz.
I rate it a D+ for helping with anxiety.
